Hello All:
I know that you are blessed of the Lord this day. I know you are standing firm on His Word, for His Word is the only truth in your life. No matter what the doctor says, bill collector says, mother, father, brother, sister or friend say - whose report will you believe - we shall believe the report of the Lord this day. The doctor says that you're sick - by the stripes of Jesus you were healed; therefore, you are healed right now. Bill collector says you haven't paid your bill - but my God shall supply (is supplying) ALL of my needs according to HIS RICHES in glory through Christ Jesus. Family and friends say that it looks like you're going under - but you are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus; because Jesus is for you nothing and no one can successfully be against; the Greater One lives on the inside of you and He is greater than he that is in this world; no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn; this is the heritage of the servant of the Most High God, and your righteousness is of Him. This is the Word of the Lord. But if you don't study His Word, then you will not know these things. If you do not study His Word, then it will not be ever ready even in your mouth.
I will always encourage you to study the Word of God. Trust me, in this day and hour, you will need His Word ever ready to be spoken out of your mouth concerning your situation(s). When we were little, just starting out in our walk with God, our mom use to make us ready something out of the Bible, and then make us explain what we read. If we didn't quite understand the passage we chose, she would help us understand but we had to pick out something out of the Bible to read. It can sometimes be hard to figure out what you should be studying in the Word of God. If there isn't a specific situation going in your life, you might say 'I want to read the Word of God, but I have no idea what I should read or even where I should begin'. If you should find yourself in this situation, here's a good idea you can use. I use this myself from time to time.
We all have things in our life that are important to us, but they are not pressing (meaning it doesn't necessarily need to be done or dealt with right away), but is something that you would like to improve on or just to gain more knowledge on a subject. Should you find yourself not knowing what to study or where to begin, begin by making a list of things you would like to improve on, and those things that you would like to gain more knowledge on concerning the things of God. The Bible is the Christian's handbook of life; so why not use it seek the improvement(s) or knowledge we desire. Search the Word of God concerning those things that are important to you. Some of the things on my list included marriage, my attitude, end times, and salvation. Salvation is one of the most important things I studied; gaining the knowledge of the scriptures. This allowed me to speak His Word concerning the salvation of my family; no matter what it looks or sounds like; I have on the inside of me what my Father has to say concerning my family's salvation. I don't need all the cars and houses and the jewelry (not that I don't want them); I'd rather have all of my family saved and on their way to Heaven than all the riches and material things of this world. When we are gone from this world, we will not be able to take any of those things with us - they will be no use to us. But when we pass from this world, knowing that we are saved, sanctified and set apart for His Kingdom - there is not greater peace you and for those that are still living when we are gone.
As I have said so many times for before, and it's not just for you - it's for me too; get in the Word of God for yourself. You have to know the Word of God for YOU! You have to know His Word and believe that His Word will work for you. But if you do not study His Word, then you will know His Word. How can you believe in something that you won't even take the time to understand? I can pray for you and your pastor or friend can pray for you, but you have to pray and believe that God can do it for you; it's your thing; it's something that you want. Seek God's Word concerning it; grab a hold of it; get it in your spirit and stand firm and see the salvation of your God. God is faithful and just to perform HIS WORD, which means you have to know His Word, and in order to know His Word, you have to study it. I'll go one step further. In addition to studying it, knowing it and praying it, you must also believe that He can and will do it for you. He is no respecter of persons (meaning if He does it for one person, He can and will do the same for you. Make a list today, and enjoy your journey in discovering what your God has promised you, and what He can and will do for you.
